Texas Flyer 1974-1976

Product Description

Bear Family’s first Freddie King box (Taking Care of Business) was one of their best-selling, best-reviewed ever—and here comes round two! Freddie’s voice and guitar packed a soul-shaking punch as powerful as those of any bluesman ever, and this set lets you hear him in all his glory during his RSO era (the last few years of his all-too-brief life) . His 1974 LP Burglar (with guest Eric Clapton, his RSO label-mate and ardent admirer) is here, a funk-blues-soul masterpiece featuring Pack It Up; Texas Flyer; I Got the Same Old Blues; Sugar Sweet, and more. You’ll hear other studio gems, too, plus 4 CDs of electrifying live cuts, most unissued, all professionally recorded in stereo (no sub-par bootlegs here): Sweet Home Chicago; Ain’t No Sunshine; Big Leg Woman; Going Down; Woman Across the River; Key to the Highway; Messin’ with the Kid; Little Bluebird; a Clapton performance of Farther up the Road (with Freddie on guitar)…64 tracks and an 80-page hardcover book!
